i uploaded this video onto myspace to show the anatomical relationships when a body is cut on the axial plane. I do have more videos that I might post in the near future. stay tuned... here is some more info:
"The Visible Human Project® is an outgrowth of the NLM's 1986 Long-Range Plan. It is the creation of complete, anatomically detailed, three-dimensional representations of the normal male body. Acquisition of transverse CT, MR and cryosection images of representative male and female cadavers has been completed. The male was sectioned at one millimeter intervals.The long-term goal of the Visible Human Project® is to produce a system of knowledge structures that will transparently link visual knowledge forms to symbolic knowledge formats such as the names of body parts."
This is a photo of the vascular system. The cadaver is injected with a laytex polymer that solidifies all vessels in the body. The body is then submerged in a series of solutions that dissolve away proteins, calcium, and other tissues in order to reveal the cast of the vascular system. Picture taken April 06' at Bodies the Exhibition.
Potassium Hydroxylated Fetus showing sites of ossification... The red parts represent the cartilaginous precursors which after birth form bone. A baby has about 350 bones... as a child grows older these bones fuse. The final product is an adult with 206 bones. Picture taken at Bodies the Exhibition.
